Men are gentle and dependent.And they are also ridiculously naive. Some husbands are sincerely convinced that they are the breadwinners of the family. Naive. But are they breadwinners? Breadwinners, yes. But not breadwinners. We are the real breadwinners - tender and weak, but so caring. It is not for nothing that a wife is considered the keeper of the hearth, and food prepared by her hands is the best food for a husband. And while the wife is at home, observing the ritual established for centuries, cooking, serving (in a word, feeding), the husband feels like a king and a god. But as soon as this ritual stops, the man gets lost, falls into the melancholy and becomes the most unhappy creature in the world. That is why we fly from work with all our wings in order to make it to dinner and whirl around our beloved in ritual dances. The main thing is that he is well-fed, satisfied with life and happy. All this, of course, is good at home. But at work? We can't please our husbands at work, acting as excellent cooks and obliging waitresses. And they would like that. But, alas, not all is Shrovetide for the cat. And during working hours, men not only take a break from their wives, but also frankly suffer without home-cooked food. However, believe me, everything can be fixed. And if your man is pathologically dependent on your kitchen, then in order to maintain his mental and physical health, you should start cooking him dinners. So what kind of food can be the best and most convenient (for both him and you). Let's figure it out.
Man's taste preferences
Naturally, it is on them first and foremostyou will have to navigate. What food does he like the most? Can't do without a hot dish? Or is your man a fan of delicious sandwiches? Or maybe he loves homemade pies? Or can't imagine life without meat? In any case, you need to take into account your husband's culinary preferences.
- Option one. The first, like eating at work to her husband
Don't be afraid - it's not that bad.If your man has no complexes, and his own stomach is more important to him than public opinion, then you can safely cook your husband first courses for work. No one argues that such food is the best for a man. And if the working conditions also allow you to warm up the soup, then this is the most compromise option. It is inconvenient to carry (carry). Well, that is also true. But, firstly, you can buy a special compact thermos for first courses, and secondly, you can cook cream soups, which are thicker and often tastier than regular soups.
- It is impossible to live in this world without meat...
Your husband can't imagine his existence without you.juicy chop? You are lucky. Yes, yes, don't be surprised. Meat as food for your husband to take to work is a very convenient option, first of all, for you. Well, first of all, cutlets are economical, satisfying, tasty. All kinds of chops and langets are fast and prestigious. And just a piece of boiled meat will not leave your man hungry and dissatisfied.
- I am the sausage king
Does your husband like sausage?Then preparing his lunch for work is a piece of cake. Cut off a piece of sausage, a slice of fresh loaf of bread - and here it is, food for my husband to take to work. True, you can diversify the sandwich with cheese and fresh vegetables, but this is not difficult for us - as long as the darling is full.
- Cake Happiness
If you know how and love to bake, then you're in luck,your man doubly so: his wife is a beauty and she has golden hands. And there will be no problems with preparing lunch for your husband to take to work: today - meat pie, tomorrow - cabbage pies, and the day after tomorrow - fish pies. True, such food will soon make your husband look like a sweet bagel. So what? You will still love him, won't you?
Working conditions and food
Of course, there is no accounting for taste.Therefore, your beloved can love anything, and you will cook this “anything” too. However, our culinary preferences are not always appropriate in a work environment. Therefore, when choosing what food you will prepare for a business lunch, clarify the situation. Your man is an office worker. If there is no decent canteen or buffet nearby, then your husband will have to carry his lunch “in his briefcase”. Many advanced offices have their own “home” kitchen, or just a microwave. Then you can safely cook him dishes that need to be eaten hot - soups, goulashes, solyanka, etc. Another option is not to cook specially, but give him what has already been prepared for lunch or left over from dinner. True, there is one “but”. After all, not every man is ready to spit on the opinions of others and have lunch right in the office, taking out containers, jars and bags. Therefore, if your husband is such an aesthete, then limit yourself to, for example, hot sandwiches, a piece of meat casserole or a hearty salad in an airtight food container. By the way, you will have to admit that this food is most suitable for your husband to eat during his lunch break even if your man does not have the opportunity to heat up the food. Your man is not an office worker. That is, your husband has to work in conditions that are, to put it mildly, uncomfortable. Again, if there is an opportunity to eat in the canteen (and if the food there is quite edible), then convince your man that it is best to have lunch there. If he insists on home-cooked dinners, then it is best to get a special thermos and learn to bake. A hot first course will definitely brighten up his already difficult working days, and home-baked goods will give him strength and lift his spirits. And don't forget that your husband should have not only food with him, but also hygiene products (paper and wet wipes for hands, a garbage bag, etc.). That is, you will have to choose from two options. Either you prepare hot and tasty lunches for your husband to take to work, or no less tasty dishes that can be eaten cold.
Hot lunches
The first thing that comes to mind is soups andBorscht. Yes, of course, this is a great option if your man prefers to eat exactly these dishes at work. Don't be old-fashioned and refuse glass jars with lids in this case. Buy a special thermos for hot dishes or an airtight container. Suggest that your husband take homemade croutons or croutons to work with his soup instead of bread. And try to cook cream soup at least once. After all, there are a great many recipes for such soups. And another problem with such lunches is the possibility of them quickly going sour. Therefore, try to make sure that the food prepared for your husband to take to work does not contain perishable ingredients. For example, soup without carrots. Of course, you can cook it with carrots. But put them whole in the broth, and then just take them out of the soup. For the main course, give preference to sausages or frankfurters, cutlets or chops with any side dish: mashed potatoes, beans, pasta (oh, how men love pasta!), rice or buckwheat. You can make your husband a meat or vegetable casserole or even a pasta casserole to take to work. But, unfortunately (or fortunately), not every man will risk taking soup to work with him. Therefore, most often the best food is not liquid soups or even mashed potatoes or porridge. Most often, a man prefers to eat during his lunch break something that can be eaten without a plate and without a spoon.
Eating without a plate and without a spoon
What can I cook so that my husband doesn’tDid you bother with dishes? Of course, sandwiches. The usual cheese and sausage are, of course, convenient. But you won’t feed your husband only such sandwiches every day. Therefore, one of the options for lunch at work is sandwiches with a filling. First, you can make a special sandwich spread, for example, liver pate. Spread this spread on two pieces of bread and put one on top of the other so that there is bread without a “spread” on both the top and bottom. Another option is a shawarma-type sandwich. Take a long baguette, cut off the ends, take out the bread crumb and put any filling inside (meat with vegetables, for example). Another option for food for work for your husband is a sandwich in a pita bread. Make some suitable filling (sausage, cheese and mayonnaise, chicken and ketchup) and wrap it in a pita bread. Or you can spend one evening and bake a mountain of pancakes. Then you need to prepare different fillings for the pancakes: egg with rice, minced meat, cottage cheese. After that, make pancakes for future use and put them in the refrigerator. And all you have to do is take the pancakes out of the freezer in advance (in the evening), and in the morning provide your husband with such a homemade and delicious lunch. And, of course, pies and cakes. Believe me, no normal man will refuse a snack of homemade baked goods for lunch. Moreover, you can make pies for your husband to take to work with completely different fillings, they can be fried or baked in the oven. True, you can’t make a lot of pies for future use. And this is perhaps the only downside for you. In addition to pies and pancakes, try offering your husband to take cheesecakes or potato pancakes with him to work. Cook meat in batter or just boil chicken or veal - boiled meat is tasty even when cold. By the way, you can also cook sea fish or cauliflower, cheese or chicken in batter.
Salads
For some men, such food can bea full meal, for others - just an addition to the main course. Try making your husband hearty salads with potatoes or meat, salads with chicken (smoked or boiled), salads with cheese, salads with ham, salads with crab sticks for work. This could be the well-known Olivier in any interpretation, and herring under a fur coat, and "mimosa". As an addition and to diversify the dry food, prepare vegetable salads for your husband to take to work: cabbage, beetroot, carrot. Cook them with mayonnaise, with vegetable oil, with mustard, but only without onions and garlic. And in general, try not to put strong-smelling products in salads, because you don’t want your faithful to be afraid to open his mouth for the rest of the working day. As an option for salads - a roll or pita bread envelopes with salad filling. Very convenient food, so that you can take it with you and eat it: the salad is already with bread. And the complexity of preparation is an excuse for the lazy. If you prepare all the ingredients for salads in advance (boil and chop) and keep them in the refrigerator in separate containers, then in the morning you only need to mix and dress the salad.
Finished products
God forbid you immediately think about Chinese"instant" noodles or the same purees. No, and once again no! This is unhealthy food, even if your man likes it (and there are some among them). Ready-made products are kefir, cottage cheese, yogurt, apples, bananas, cookies, gingerbread... However, we are talking about men, and such food is unlikely to be a hearty lunch for any of them. And still, offer your husband to take such products to work, for example, as a dessert. And do not forget that the best food is the one you prepare - tender, caring and loving. Love and be loved!
